"Yes, because your second uncle has such a good image in everyone's mind. If he did something wrong, no one would believe it."
"The image is too good? How good can it be? However, if I remember correctly, many people in the town like him very much." Shen Zhonghe thought for a moment, "In my impression, the second uncle is someone who loves to play and laugh. He doesn't have the airs of his elders at all, and he can get along with the younger ones. The kids in the town especially like him."
"Can you not like him?" Liang Jieque almost rolled her eyes, but at least she remembered that this was in the main tent, so she didn't roll her eyes. "Every day I take you up trees to dig out bird's nests or go fishing in the sea. I also take you to grill fish and those messy little seafoods. Whatever mistakes you make, your second uncle will carry them for you. If you If you don't like him, that's really weird. He is the king of children in the whole town. If your child is missing, go to him and you will definitely find the right one.
"Ah, you all know. Shen Zhonghe scratched his head in embarrassment, "I thought you didn't know.
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. Every time you eat, you come back shiny and shiny. You don't even know how to wipe the oil from your mouth. Are you afraid that others won't know what you went to do?"
"Children, it is indeed easier to forget." Shen Zhonghe smiled and said, "Although he led us all over the mountains and fields like a child, my second uncle still has a very calm side, and he is very kind to his grandfather. He is very filial, respects his father and mother, and treats Aunt Liang..." He looked at Liang Jieque, "Now it seems that he is very doting on you. I don't believe that he has no feelings for you. He loves you very much, very much. I love you very much. I have seen more than once that his eyes are full of light when he looks at you."
"Really?" Liang Jieque glanced at Shen Zhonghe, "Really? Don't talk nonsense just because he is your second uncle."
"Of course I'm not talking nonsense, I saw it clearly."
"If this is the case, then it is a pity that he should love himself more. After all, his filial piety to your grandfather, respect and friendship for his elder brother and sister-in-law, and his feelings for me have not been able to defeat him. It’s your own temptation to your heart’s desire, isn’t it?”
"Everyone loves themselves, and that's understandable. Or what was his original reason? Jin Miaomiao waved his hands, "What you actually mean is that if you tell others that Mr. Shen betrayed his family, they won't believe it at all. ,Is it right?"
"I will never believe it."
Liang Jieque and Shen Zhonghe said in unison. After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"Are you so sure?"
"Absolutely." Shen Zhonghe nodded, "My second uncle is a role model for other people's children. My father is already very good in my opinion, but compared to my second uncle, he is still far behind."
"Is it so powerful?"
"Very, very impressive. I have grown up hearing about my second uncle's great achievements." Shen Zhonghe sighed softly, "If he were not my second uncle, I might be jealous of how there is such a person in this world."
"How powerful can it be?" Jin Jing curled her lips, "Master Shen, are you bragging?"...
"That's because you don't know that my second uncle is not an ordinary person." Shen Zhonghe looked at Liang Jieque and said, "Aunt Liang, is that right?"
"Yes, he is very powerful." Liang Jieque nodded, "When we were young, we all went to private schools together, and he was always the best among all the children. He could have taken the imperial examination and became an official, but he didn't Like it, my adoptive father didn't have this idea, so he took the Juren exam and stopped continuing. In order not to attract other people's attention, he deliberately took the exam lower when he was admitted to the Juren exam. Although outsiders were a little bit concerned about his mistake. It's a pity, but we know that this is not his ambition, and it doesn't matter whether he ranks high or low. Later, he took the martial arts exam again, and still won the exam, which ranked neither high nor low. After giving himself the icing on the cake, he was happy. He returned to his hometown. After returning home, he concentrated on going to sea. As for his own fame, he no longer mentioned a word. "
"It seems that his imperial examination was just to prove that he had this ability and to complete his ten years of hard study.
Mei's explanation has no other plans. "
"What the general said is, I asked him, and that's what he meant. He doesn't like being an official and feels it is very restrictive." Liang Jieque nodded, "It is in line with his temperament. He has always been free. Free and easy."
"So, what about his personality?"
"As for his character, I'm afraid no one in the whole town will say anything bad about him. Just like Xiao Man said, he is a model that other adults use to teach their own monkeys."
"Older people probably don't like him very much, right? After all, it must be annoying to hear the adults at home talking about him all the time, right?"
"Of course not, not everyone likes him, but most people still like him very much and are willing to play with him."
"That's right. Xue Ruitian nodded, "This is really rare."
"How should I put it? He is very kind and enthusiastic to people. Whenever someone asks him for help, he will never refuse, and he will not ask for anything in return for helping. Although in the eyes of some people, it may be a bit He is suspected of attracting bees and butterflies, but because he is good-looking, he is very popular with girls." She smiled at the others, "It can't be his fault, can it?"
"What I'm saying is that it's really not Erye Shen's fault." Shen Cha nodded, "If such a person were suddenly revealed to have betrayed his family, or even been suspected of betraying the country and collaborating with the enemy, I'm afraid no one would believe it. There will be many people saying that he was wrongly accused, right?"
"That's right. What's more, it's a family scandal, and we can't publicize it everywhere." Liang Jieque smiled bitterly, "He seems to be very good and perfect, but no one is perfect, and there are no perfect people in this world." There might be such a person, right? It's because we thought too well of him that we found it unbelievable after he made a big mistake."
"Maybe it's like what we just said, the second uncle's cherished wish has really come true." Shen Zhonghe thought for a while, "The other party may have agreed to his conditions and promised him an island before he agreed. Help them." He frowned slightly, "Oh, no, it's very possible that it's not just a promise, but maybe a real handover. After all, my second uncle has always been a stickler for the rabbit."...
"If you don't see a rabbit, don't let an eagle fly?" He agreed to help them only after the paperwork has been completed, right?" "He nodded to Shen Zhonghe, "My second uncle never believes in those so-called promises. He will only let go when he sees the real thing."
"If that's the case, then there's a problem." Xue Ruitian stretched out a finger, "How did Hu Shang know about Mr. Shen's preferences? How did he know that he wanted an island?"
"Well..." Liang Jieque shook his head slightly, "I don't know. After all, we are still not sure whether he wants an island or something else."
"That's true." Jin Jing nodded and patted Xue Ruitian beside her. "Aunt Liang just said that he might want a small island, but she didn't confirm that what he wanted was a small island. Maybe he wanted something else. Something that those Hu businessmen could deliver to him right away. Once he got the thing, he felt at ease, and he could help these people with things."
"It's very possible." Xue Ruitian nodded, looked at Liang Jieque, and said, "After you left Ubi City, did you encounter anything along the way?"
"What happened?" Liang Jieque thought for a while and shook his head slightly, "The road from Wubi City Road Pier was indeed smooth. On the third day after leaving Wubi City, we stopped After dressing up as a merchant from the Western Regions, I returned to my own clothes, but we still walked with the Western Regions caravan, after all, we take care of each other."
"How many days have you been traveling on this journey?"
"Because we were eager to return home, and the time agreed between the Western Region merchants and the Daxia merchants was getting closer and closer, we traveled day and night. It took us three or four days less than when we came here, and we walked for about ten days. Just arrived at the pier."
"In ten days, those people actually let you run away and didn't chase you?" Xue Ruitian narrowed his eyes, looked at Liang Jieque suspiciously, and said
He said, "How is this possible?"
"We originally thought they would catch up and intercept us, but they did not do so, and we did not understand it very well. Later, after the two sides met at sea, we found out that the area from the dock to Ubi City is also a return zone. Under the jurisdiction of Ubi City, fighting is allowed and robbery is allowed, but picking quarrels and causing trouble is absolutely not allowed."
"Looking for quarrels and provoking troubles? Isn't fighting also looking for quarrels and provoking troubles?"
"Of course not. According to the rules set by the Lord of Ubi City, fighting is agreed upon by both parties. If one party is provocative and the other party ignores it, there is no fight. If the provocative party is looking for trouble. If the city lord finds out about their children, they will be deemed as provoking quarrels and troubles, and they will be issued a ban by the city lord and permanently banned from entering Ubi City. Those Hu merchants obviously want to do business in Ubi City for a long time. For business people, they even purchased shops and houses in Ubi City. Therefore, in order to intercept us, they broke the rules of the city lord and asked the city lord to issue a ban. This is particularly unworthy."
"So that's it." Xue Ruitian nodded lightly, "This city lord is a good man, and he accidentally saved your life. Without this ban, you might not have been able to reach the pier before being blocked."….
"Yes, the city lord's ban is one thing, but there is another reason why they won't intercept us."
"There is another reason?" Xue Ruitian looked at Liang Jieque curiously, "What is it?"
"I know this." Shen Zhonghe chuckled, "Whether it is Hu Shang or Japanese, they all have a shortcoming, that is, they are not good at land warfare. The sea is their world and theirs. Ruling area. Although our navy can be considered invincible and invincible, we have achieved this through hard training and many times of practice. But they...especially the Japanese, they seem to be born with it. Let’s talk about it, we are completely incomparable.”
"Indeed."
"You are all right." Liang Jieque looked at Shen Zhonghe, then at Xue Ruitian, and smiled, "So, they have to wait until we get on the ship, go to the sea, and stay away from the land route that they are not good at. Really get your hands dirty."
"But they also made you sail on the sea for almost ten days before they surrounded you, didn't they?"
"What the Marquis doesn't know is that the Japanese pirates don't have particularly big boats that can go as far as Ubi City from their territory." Shen Zhonghe chuckled, "Their boats can only travel for five or six days at most. They cannot bear the journey of more than ten days. They do not have the ability to do this. Therefore, every time they rob, they have to do it near their usual residence. It is also for this reason that we Every time we deal with them, we can follow the clues to find their lair and raid their lair."
"Then we really didn't know. It turned out to be like this, the three cunning rabbits, these Japanese pirates." , what happened that night must have left a very deep impression on you? Can you tell us in a credible way?"
"Of course it's profound. After all, what happened that night was something I never dared to think about in my life. It completely overturned my understanding of my second brother in the past twenty years." Liang Jieque showed a wry smile towards Shen Zhonghe and said , "I never thought that your second uncle could be such a person."
"I have never thought about it. I'm afraid no one, including my grandfather and father, has ever thought about my second uncle being such a person."
"Yes, Liang Jieque poured herself tea, took a few sips, gently placed the tea cup on the table, looked at the people in front of her, and showed a helpless expression. "Xiao Man, you know the day of the accident. , what day is it?"
"I know." Shen Zhonghe nodded, looking at Liang Jieque with a hint of unbearable eyes, "It's Aunt Liang's birthday, right?"
"Looking at Liang Jieque and looking at the others, "Isn't it completely unexpected? The day that ruined the rest of my life turned out to be my birthday. This is probably what the Buddhists say, karma, right?
"
"You can't say that." Xue Ruitian waved his hand gently, "Actually, this should be the day to save you."
"Oh? What do you mean, Mr. Hou? Save me? How can you save me?"
"On this day of your birthday, let you see clearly the true face of the person you love most, and let you stop at the cliff in time to avoid being deceived by him in the future. If you find out that this person is like this after you get married, you But there’s no place to cry, don’t you think?” 39314553.
